Beneath the Surface, Silent Bonds.

The Spiritual Journey of My Mushroom Collection

Intimate connections lie hidden beneath your very footsteps. Each piece in my mushroom collection is a chapter in an unfolding narrative, a journey that begins with a quiet whisper and culminates in a profound silence.

Imagine stepping into a world where the end is shrouded in mystery, only to uncover that the true story lies in the unseen connections. The journey starts not with a grand revelation, but with a subtle, almost imperceptible beginning. The first piece of my collection serves as a secret code, hinting at the intricate web of relationships that bind us, even when we are apart.

As we delve deeper, the pieces reveal more of the story. Each subsequent work peels back layers of this hidden network, tracing the path of connection that persists despite the vast distances. The collection’s middle pieces reflect the transformative stages of this journey, where separation and longing are transformed into a deeper understanding of our bonds.

for me, as an immigrant Persian girl living far from my loved ones, this collection is more than just art—it's a deeply personal exploration of distance and connection.Reaching the heart of the collection, we encounter the essence of our shared experience—a quiet revelation that transcends time and space. Here, the pieces converge into a unified story, capturing the spirit of connection that remains unbroken.

In this collection, the mushrooms symbolize an underground network, a reminder of the unseen forces that connect us. Each piece is a fragment of a larger narrative, a testament to the spiritual ties that endure, even when they are not immediately visible.
